It is the final week of the Craft Room Makeover Challenge and we are finally sharing our after pictures!

It’s Reveal Week!!

From January 3rd through January 31st, 12 Plus crafty bloggers will be sorting, organizing, cleaning, and decorating their craft spaces. Each of us has a very different craft space to tackle, so chances are you will find one similar to yours. Follow along, share you suggestions and tell how you are organizing your craft space too!

Visit the first four weeks of the craft room makeover for our progress photos and tips to wrangle in your after the holidays craftermath!

Let’s take a look back at my Craft Room Goals. I need to clarify that I made over my craft work space. There is no way I could possibly makeover my entire craft room in January with all there is to do to get the entire house back in order following the holidays. However, my main work area is the part of my craft room in need of the most attention.

Function. Now that the space is all cleaned up and better organized, it is so much more functional. I was so glad to finally be able to put my cutting mat on the table! The table is work ready and I have a project in mind!

Organization. I shopped my house and shared what I found in Week Two.Adding the Mesh Wall Pocket holder, shelf and my new DIY Framed Pegboard has created much better organization. I had a habit of cluttering up my desk with my notebooks but now they will all be handy and out of the way in my new wall pocket organizer. The clipboard needs to be handy. I use it to keep up with projects like our 12 Days of Christmas Ideas and of course this craft space makeover! Those publication dates and topics need to be easy for me to review so I can stay on time.

My favorite thing that I added is actually the Magnetic Strip. Having those needle nose pliers, snips and especially my hole punch handy will be a joy. I can never find my hole punch but now it is front and center!

A pretty place to work. My little touches of pink and brown add the pop of color I need. I plan to add a little more pink here and there but as you can see, I’m perfectly happy with browns and black. A lot of different patterns and colors make me feel like my space is cluttered which makes me feel overwhelmed.

See my tutorial for making aTwo Tier Spinning Tray. You’ll never believe what I found at the thrift store to use for the bottom tray! It holds five upcycled mayo jars comfortably which are great for storing supplies.

The two matching vintage look Burpee metal cans on the shelf contain supplies. One is full of craft sticks which my grandchildren enjoy using when they are here crafting. The other is full of glue sticks. My daughter gifted those pretty tins to me a few years ago and I’m happy to be able to have them on display.

Also on the shelf is myTwo Tier Pin Cushionwhich was an Upcycle project. I love it and find it to be exceptionally handy when I am sewing.

Use that bare wall for organization and aesthetics. I am satisfied that I have accomplished this goal by adding the shelf and peg board. However, I have some plans to add something more about those things in the future.

Now that my craft space makeover is complete it is time to get to work! One project has been completed already in my new space, theseValentine’s Tissue Paper Cone Tree Decor! There is already another project ready to begin so off to work I go.

I seem to have had technicul issues the other day when I left my comment…as it is nowhere to be seen. Shirley, you did such a wonderful job! I love your pegboard and the magnetic stripe is so handy. I also have three vintage tin jars to store my hot glue sticks and other bobs and pins in. Enjoy crafting in this wonderful room!Habiba recently posted…Before & After Small Space Craft Room Tour – Craft Room Makeover Week 4

Now you got me thinking. I think I need a magnetic board, too. That is just so handy to have the tools you need the most and are searching for the most (I hear ya on this one) right in front of you. Alas, I already decided that I’ll be adding things to my craft room even after the big reveal today. I also have vintage metal cans on display and they are full of glue sticks, lol. I like your creative ideas and will keep them in mind for future optimization.Habiba recently posted…Top 5 Craft Room Organization Tips You Need To Know
